Hello everyone early today I got a broken original Xbox 360 Arcade for 10 bucks with the sole intent to turn it into a mini ITX pc that will be used solely to run emulators and roms. The idea came from my dad talking about how he wanted to get an Arcade Cabinet filled with old games he enjoyed from his teens (mid 80's) so I thought I would make him something much more portable that did that and more. The goal is to run emulators from SNES all the way up to PS2/Gamecube (if possible) at stable performance via the onboard graphics. However if someone can point me towards a mini ITX capable GPU that can run those then that is fine as well. Below is the build as of now. I would like to keep it within this budget. I can stretch it to 250usd if need be. I am located in US. Also does anyone know of a company that makes fans similar in size to the ones in the 360? Approximately 70mm.
